  • won't start when warm

    I just got this 90 festiva with fuel injection. After it has been running for a while and you shut it off it won't start for at least 45 minutes. After that amount of time you have to hold the gas to the floor and it stutters for a while before catching and putting out a good puff of smoke like it has been flooded. In the morning it starts just fine. Any Ideas?

    Haynes trouble shootign section lists follwing probably causes
    1 - clogged air filtre
    2 - fule not reaching injectors
    3 - corroded battery connctions, especially ground (negative post)
    4 - problem with coolant temp or intake air sensors (corroded wires, etc.)

    Good luck
